Mill Ruins Park, Archaeological park in downtown Minneapolis, United States
Mill Ruins Park spans from 3rd Avenue South to 9th Avenue South along the Mississippi River, showcasing the industrial foundations of Minneapolis flour production.
The park preserves the remains of over 20 flour mills that formed the largest water-powered facility in the world during the 19th century.
Designated walkways with information panels guide visitors through the excavated mill foundations, revealing the engineering methods of early American industrial development.
The park maintains daily operating hours from 6 AM to 10 PM and includes spaces for groups of 45 or more people.
Restored water channels flow through the original tailraces, demonstrating the hydraulic systems that powered Minneapolis flour production in the 1800s.
